Easy Garlic Butter Fish

Ingredients

• 4 (about 150g each) Firm white fish fillets, barramundi, basa, snapper or hoki; skinless
• 2 tbsp Plain flour
• Salt and black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 50g Butter
• 3 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
• 1 Lemon, half juiced, half cut into wedges
• 2 tbsp Parsley, chopped
• 300g Green beans, trimmed, to serve

You’ll need: Large frying pan, Saucepan

Method

1. 1

   Boil or steam the green beans for 4–5 minutes until just tender. Drain and keep warm.

2. 2

   Pat the fish dry with paper towel. Season both sides, then dust lightly with the flour.

3. 3

   Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the fish for 3 minutes, turn, and cook 2–3 minutes more until golden.

4. 4

   Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and garlic and spoon the foaming butter over the fish for 1 minute, taking care not to burn the garlic.

5. 5

   The fish is cooked when it is opaque all the way through and flakes easily with a fork. Add the lemon juice and parsley, and serve with the beans and lemon wedges.
